Subject: . and .. on search results
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 15:11:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <443ABBE4.2040209@austin.rr.com> (raw)
There are cases in which servers fails to return . and .. in search
(readdir) results over CIFS. In particular Windows servers which
export the root of a drive.
Is returning . and .. in readdir results always required (ie a client
change is necessary to insert them if they were not returned)? and do .
and .. have to be first in the list of entries in the directory (which
would be very inconvenient since I may have to read through all of the
directory search results)? Although . and .. are usually returned in
the first of what could be many search (Transact2 FindNext) responses
from the server, I don't think it is required.
